Hi, today I tried to lock down the rsyslog.service that I have on my system.
For that I first created an override.conf that contained [Service] ProtectHome=yes PrivateTmp=yes PrivateDevices=yes ProtectSystem=strict ReadWritePaths=/var/log ReadWritePaths=/var/spool/rsyslog ReadWritePaths=/proc/kmsg CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_SYSLOG CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE Unfortunately, rsyslog.service failed to start: ● rsyslog.service - System Logging Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/rsyslog.service.d └─override.conf Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2017-11-30 04:25:03 CET; 2s ago Docs: man:rsyslogd(8) http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/ Process: 2734 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 2734 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Nov 30 04:25:03 pluto systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart. Nov 30 04:25:03 pluto systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5. Nov 30 04:25:03 pluto systemd[1]: Stopped System Logging Service.

Nov 30 04:25:03 pluto systemd[1]: Failed to start System Logging Service. The journal doesn't contain anything useful. Any hints how I can further debug this why rsyslog fails to start? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
